A piece I did my last year in college, "Pride" or "Black Madonna" is part of the permanent of the Denver Library - Blair -Caldwell African American Research Library. It was a painting I did and sold many years ago that was returned to me when the owner went into a nursing home. I always felt it was a captured a very specific phase in the history of the civil rights movement in one African-American woman and her baby boy. Anyway, I am very pleased to know it has a home where it can be appreciated for its historical and artistic content.
We are getting closer to a studio reality - I'm hoping by the end of this month! Until then, I'm still painting people at the Art Students League of Denver, monitoring Mark Daily's class - and I'm adding a few of those paintings. Next month I'll have a showing of my work at Artwork Network in Denver, then in July a special show at Great Western Art Gallery. Is it Spring yet?
